        I know plenty of people with degrees who are dunber than a bag of hammers and less than half as useful.

        Our world is complex and many people are all too eager to remind us that they really are just animals shoved into t-shirts and pants. Unfortunately, the solution will never be to take anyone’s voice away so we’re going to be stuck in some shitty places like this until we can figure out to make this shit work better.

        Universal suffrage would be under direct attack if such a thing were imposed. However, it would make more sense for people who wish to run for public office to have such a condition, with allowance made for relevant life experience in lieu of a formal education.
